Battery Operated Clip on Mini Desk Fan, Black

Update: SkyGenuis contacted me and sent me a replacement. The fan I got is powerful, quit and the battery still good. The moment I turned it on, my puppy sat in front of it and fell asleep :( . That’s exactly why I was excited to order it at first place. I will clip it on his car during our road trip. Very loud noise and battery dies 5 min after. I was expecting a brand new fan for my puppy during a road trip but With that level of noise I don’t think we will use it!

I had been looking for a small fan to clip onto my desk, and this fits the bill quite well. Its a little louder than Id thought - definitely not loud, just not totally silent, which is fine. Its definitely quiet enough. It also comes with/runs off one of those 16650 batteries, so I thought that was a great design decision. Nice to see those, rather than internal battery packs which cant be easily replaced. Note that the unit will also charge the battery via usb, so once you pop the battery in you dont have to worry about it. You just also have the option of swapping in a battery if you want. No idea on run life yet; might update this later, but really I dont plan to unplug the thing now that Ive gotten it set up. The USB Cable is a little on the short side.. I think its around a meter, which is what I would expect to be included, just be aware. The one odd thing I noticed, and Im not sure if its just my unit or not.. The speed controller seems to only do anything when the fan is running on battery. This *could* be because current is being pulled to charge the battery, since these batteries ship with partial charge, so another potential review update if I notice a difference and get around to it would be if theres a difference between plugged-in run speed when fully charged or not. Another nice thing about this fan is its full-swivel. Since the motor and battery are mounted essentially on the motor, there are no internal limits to worry about when adjusting the angle of the fan. Again, could be a touch quieter, but Im only saying that because it doesnt have a completely silent mode - and basically no fans have that. All in all, this fan is very well designed, and I am quite pleased with it.

THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN EDITED because I thought the fan was defective, when in fact it was my diagnostic logic that was defective. :P This fan is great. I like the design, the clip is strong, the positionability is awesome, the power draw is low, its super quiet, the effectiveness is stellar. I live in my truck and having a working fan is super important. I bought this particular fan instead of cheaper alternatives because it was well-reviewed and seemed like it would hold up more reliably than others. Ive been using it for a few weeks now, and so far so good -- Im really impressed! When I previously posted this review, it was one star because I thought the fan had stopped working. It wasnt the fan -- the problem was that the power source I was charging it from was pushing low voltage. And I was just barely a few days outside the return window, so I posted a negative review hoping that the seller would be willing to refund or replace the fan. As you can see in the comment replies below, they responded right away and were happy to stand behind their product and send a replacement. Thats AWESOME, and I value that really highly! So five stars for the product, but also five stars for the seller having integrity and being prepared to replace any defective units. For that professionalism alone, I will definitely be giving this brand/seller extra consideration in the future if I need to purchase other things they carry. 10/10 fan, 10/10 customer service experience (even though I didnt end up needing the replacement at all!). If youre thinking of buying a fan in this price range and want these features, I really dont think theres a better option on Amazon right now.

Nice quiet fan but would be a better value at $15.

Waste of money! I was so excited to get this for my baby! First one I ordered had the battery leaking out so they sent me a replacement. (I bought this fan for ball season so my baby didn’t get too hot) Got new one in and no leaking so I thought great! Charged it up, used it one time for an hour and the thing never turned on again. I recharged it (thinking possibly the battery doesn’t last but an hour) well even fully charged it doesn’t work. I’m so disappointed because now it’s past the turn date. I should of just got a refund when the first one I got was bad. Definitely not worth the $20 I spent on this (I notice now it’s even cheaper but still isn’t worth listing price).

The clip is so strong & holds so well. There really isn’t a good spot on my treadmill so I tried the grip & it’s definitely almost all the way extended & it’s still holding. Even with the movement from walking or running. Very impressed. I also used it outside to tan & I clipped it on another round pole & it hangs on great! No slipping or falling off. The speed options are awesome, I usually just use it on the lowest & it’s plenty but the option of like so much more power is just impressive. I love that the battery is rechargeable, I thought it was going to be like regular batteries but nope, it recharges with a usb. I am just blown away. I thought I was buying a cheap little fan & this ended up blowing (ha ha) my expectations out of the water.

This is a great portable fan for the price. I got it for my son to use on the stroller in the hot months and it worked great. You can rotate it literally any direction, so I got to enjoy it too when he would run around. Now that it’s cold I use it in our bedroom in place of our larger fan since we have a newborn in there too. My issue with using it for long periods of time inside is the battery/ power level. When it’s charging it will only work on low, and when it’s not charging and on a higher level, it won’t last through the night. The low is pretty quiet as well, which could be a positive for some people, but I use a fan for the noise just as much as air circulation. I should also say this is my second fan from this company. The one I bought originally broke after about four months. The charging port just fell into the fan so it was basically useless. The company was AMAZING to work with though, and within a few days I had a new fan sent out to me. All in all, I highly recommend this fan and company.

Great fan, the battery came charged and ready to go, it’s air flow is great, super fast speeds. The only problem is it’s I wish the clip was bigger, bought it to clip to my desk bc I love that it has a protective layer over the plastic so it won’t scratch anything. It just sadly is a little to small but to be fair my desk is pretty thick, another thing I don’t like is the battery dosent last more than an hour, and it can run when it’s plugged in but only half of the speed it normally is which feels likes nothing when it’s so hot.

We used two of these fans for our twin babies at the zoo to keep them cool. We ran them on the lowest setting for four hours or more. They ran great and did a great job providing enough of a breeze to keep the babies cool and kept the mosquitos off of them too. We then used them for a couple of outings to keep the bugs off, also on the lowest setting before we had to charge them. So we probably ran them for about six hours on the lowest setting which is true to other reviews and the product description. The lowest setting produced a low hum that was audible but not obnoxious. At higher settings it was more obvious but all fans make some kind of noise so I wasn’t surprised. It’s obviously as portable as it can be, we were pleased with it. I only give things 5 stars if they go above and beyond my expectations. This fan does a great job for what a portable fan needs to do with a seemingly decent battery life. I haven’t really used it much beyond about 6 hours of use so I can’t vouch for its longevity or the battery’s longevity. But at least you can get extra batteries off amazon!

I ordered this fan for my tiny bathroom (I get warm while getting ready in the morning) and loved it so much, I ordered one for my office and one for my coworker! The clip is strong and the 360 degree rotating feature is fantastic! I ran into one issue though (once almost immediately after receiving my first one and again almost two years later): the part where you plug it in tends to become loose, which leaves it unable to charge. The good news is that the customer service is amazing and they make it right. Both times, they sent me a brand new fan as soon as I reported the problem. What really won me over is the fact that even after two years, they were willing to promptly replace the product with absolutely no hassle. If you’re looking for a lightweight clip-on fan, look no further. This is the company to purchase from!
